One Day To Go

Today (Monday) Marce and I went into Swedish Hospital for her pre-op appointment. The reality and enormity of it all really sank into us as the nurse walked us through the details of check-in and the recovery process. The emotions have hit us again, especially Marce, as she realizes that tomorrow will be the beginning of a tough road ahead. Yet we are encouraged by so many friends and family, and realize that things could be a lot worse. Dr Kaplan called us both today just to check on us and make sure we knew he would be there tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon some dear friends come over to pray for Marce and the road before us. This afternoon we did things to take our mind off tomorrow. We have great doctors, family, friends and a God who prepares our way.

I will check Marce into the hospital at 8:30AM tomorrow, when she will receive a radioactive lymph node marker injection which will be used in the afternoon to find her sentinal nodes. Her surgery is scheduled to begin at 2:30PM and last 90 minutes. I will endeavor to update this tomorrow night with the status.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers,

Marc & Marce
